Assembly Instructions

Assembling your trampoline requires careful attention to detail and following the instructions provided in this manual. It is crucial to have at least two able-bodied adults to assist with the assembly process. Here is a general overview of the assembly steps⁚

1. Frame Assembly⁚ Begin by assembling the trampoline frame using the provided T-brackets, leg tubes, and leg braces. Connect the frame tubes to the T-brackets and then attach the leg braces to the frame.
2. Enclosure Pole Assembly⁚ Connect the upper and lower sections of the enclosure poles. Ensure the holes and snap buttons align correctly.
3. Jumping Mat and Enclosure Net Assembly⁚ Lay the jumping mat flat inside the trampoline frame circle. Then, carefully unfold the enclosure net, ensuring the warning labels are facing outwards.
4. Safety Pad Assembly⁚ Once the frame and enclosure are assembled, attach the safety pad to the frame. Use bungee ties to secure the pad to the frame and jumping mat.

Remember to refer to the specific diagrams and instructions in this manual for detailed steps and guidance. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions, contact customer service for assistance.

Frame Assembly

The frame assembly is a crucial step in setting up your trampoline. Ensure you have adequate space and assistance from another person. Here’s a step-by-step guide⁚

1. Prepare the Components⁚ Lay out all the frame components, including the leg tubes, T-brackets, and leg braces.
2. Assemble the T-Brackets⁚ Connect the T-brackets to the leg tubes. The T-brackets come in two types⁚ regular T-brackets and enclosure T-brackets. The enclosure T-brackets have a special slot for inserting the enclosure poles.
3. Attach Leg Braces⁚ Slide two leg tubes onto a leg brace. One leg of each pair should have a safety sticker. The peak of the brace should point towards the ground. Insert one of the leg tubes into one of the T-brackets.
4. Connect Frame Sections⁚ Rotate two leg sections so the spring holes face up. Insert the crimped end of the frame tube of one section into the T-bracket of another. Repeat this process, connecting all sections to form a complete circle.
5. Secure the Frame⁚ Once the frame is assembled, double-check that all connections are secure. Use the provided tools to tighten any loose connections.

Remember to refer to the specific diagrams and instructions in this manual for detailed guidance. If you encounter any difficulties, contact customer service for assistance.

Enclosure Pole Assembly

The enclosure poles are essential for safety, creating a protective barrier around the trampoline. Here’s a breakdown of how to assemble them⁚

1. Connect the Sections⁚ The enclosure poles come in two sections⁚ an upper (curved) and a lower (straight) section. Connect one upper pole section to one lower pole section, ensuring that the hole and snap button align.



2. Insert into T-Brackets⁚ Once the pole sections are connected, carefully insert them into the T-brackets on the trampoline frame. Ensure the snap button protrudes from the hole, indicating a secure connection.
3. Repeat for All Poles⁚ Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each enclosure pole, ensuring they are evenly spaced around the trampoline frame.
4. Secure the Poles⁚ After inserting the poles, ensure they are securely fastened to the frame. If necessary, use a wrench or other tools to tighten the snap buttons.
5. Double-Check Stability⁚ Once all the poles are in place, gently test their stability. Ensure they are firmly connected and do not wobble or move easily.

Remember to refer to the specific diagrams and instructions in this manual for detailed guidance. If you encounter any difficulties, contact customer service for assistance.

Jumping Mat and Enclosure Net Assembly

The jumping mat and enclosure net are the heart of your trampoline, providing the bouncing surface and safety barrier. Here’s how to assemble them⁚

1. Lay Out the Jumping Mat⁚ Unfold the jumping mat and lay it flat on the ground inside the trampoline frame circle. Ensure it’s centered and smooth.
2. Attach Springs⁚ Attach the springs to the jumping mat, connecting one end to the frame and the other end to the v-ring on the jumping mat. Refer to the diagram in this manual for the correct spring placement and attachment points.
3. Unfold the Enclosure Net⁚ Unfold the enclosure net and locate the zipper opening. Ensure that the warning labels are facing outwards.
4. Secure Webbing Straps⁚ Locate the webbing straps sewn to the top edge of the enclosure net. Feed the webbing through the plastic cap at the top of the enclosure pole. Once through the cap, thread the webbing through both D-rings.
5. Attach Springs to Enclosure Net⁚ Connect the springs to the enclosure net, making sure they are attached through the net to the v-rings on the jumping mat. This step ensures the net remains taut and secure.
6. Secure Enclosure Net⁚ Once all the springs are attached, secure the enclosure net to the frame using the provided clips or hooks. Ensure the net is taut and free from any loose or sagging areas.

Remember to consult the specific diagrams and instructions provided in this manual for detailed guidance. If you have any questions or encounter difficulties, contact customer service.

Safety Pad Assembly

The safety pad is a crucial component that cushions the impact of falls and protects users from potential injuries. Here’s how to assemble it⁚

1. Position Enclosure Poles⁚ Lift the enclosure poles out of the t-bracket slots and lean them forward, resting them on the jumping mat. This allows easy access to the frame and the safety pad.
2. Place the Safety Pad⁚ Carefully place the safety pad over the frame, ensuring it covers the springs and frame tubes completely.
3. Secure Bungee Ties⁚ Locate the bungee ties on the underside of the safety pad. There will be bungees close to the frame and the jumping mat. For the bungees close to the frame, loop the bungee around the frame and tie a bow knot. Repeat this for all bungees close to the frame.
4. Attach Bungees to Jumping Mat⁚ Locate the bungee ties close to the jumping mat. Loop them around the jumping mat and tie a bow knot. Ensure the bungees are secured and the pad is firmly attached to the mat.
5. Reinsert Enclosure Poles⁚ Lift the enclosure poles and insert them through the hole in the safety pad and back into the t-bracket slot.
6. Secure Enclosure Poles⁚ Secure the enclosure poles to the frame by inserting them into the t-brackets. Ensure the snap button is protruding from the hole to confirm both parts are securely fastened.

After securing the safety pad, double-check all connections and ensure the pad is firmly attached to the frame and the jumping mat. Refer to the specific diagrams and instructions provided in this manual for detailed guidance. If you have any questions or encounter difficulties, contact customer service.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your trampoline and ensure its safety. Here’s a comprehensive guide to keeping your trampoline in top condition⁚

Troubleshooting

While trampolines are generally sturdy and reliable, occasional issues might arise. Here’s a guide to common troubleshooting scenarios and potential solutions⁚

1. Uneven Bounce⁚ If the trampoline bounces unevenly, it might be due to a faulty spring or a misaligned frame. Inspect all springs for damage or rust and replace any defective ones. Check the frame for any bent or loose connections.
2. Squeaking Springs⁚ Lubricate the springs with a silicone-based lubricant to reduce squeaking. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt and debris.
3. Loose Enclosure Net⁚ If the enclosure net feels loose, ensure the straps are properly secured to the enclosure poles and the poles are firmly inserted into the frame. Tighten any loose connections.
4. Torn Enclosure Net⁚ If the enclosure net tears, repair it immediately using a strong patching material. If the damage is extensive, consider replacing the net entirely.
5. Damaged Jumping Mat⁚ Inspect the jumping mat for tears, holes, or loose stitching. Repair minor damage with a patching kit or replace the mat if necessary.
6. Safety Pad Issues⁚ If the safety pad is loose, worn, or damaged, secure it properly or replace it.
7. Frame Instability⁚ If the frame feels unstable, check for loose connections, bent or broken frame parts, or missing bolts. Tighten or replace any faulty components.

If you encounter persistent issues or are unable to resolve the problem yourself, contact customer service or a qualified trampoline repair technician.
